Immich uses postgres because it relies on VectorChord for smart search.

It's what powers the ability to search your photos for "a dog on a beach".

It's also a fairly sensible decision.

Yep. I'd pre-order 3 today if i could get it with first class HomeAssistant app support.

I am the designated family photographer. Many of those are raw files (30MB each), so admittedly a portion of them will never be seen again. Storage is cheap though, especially local storage I don't pay a cloud subscription for, so it hasn't bothered me.

And as the other child comment mentions, my rate of photo production has increased exponentially since having kids.

I run a 5 node kubernetes cluster as my homelab. It has both public and private DNS for local upload (faster) and for remote access and sharing (via a Cloudflare tunnel).

I moved my 565GB photo library to immich about a year ago and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, convincing my wife has been a bit harder, as she has real network effects of many shared albums across a large family (30+) that all aren't going to switch the immich app so they can join her album and sync the photos.

Nonetheless, a positive move in the right direction!

First world problems but my Australian retail plan already offers a free period between 11am-2pm without any usage cap, so now with this policy introduction i'm worried my provider will introduce such a cap under the guise of 'its what the government says we can do'.

Depending on your firmware version, most jailbreak guides will have you either create an empty directory with the same name as the OTA firmware file (causing any OTA downloads to fail) or install an extension called `renameotabin` which renames the binaries responsible for performing the update, rendering them inaccessible.

My action failed with "Unexpected error fetching GitHub release for tag refs/heads/master: HttpError: Sorry. Your account was suspended"

Which certainly made me shit myself, briefly.

This is roughly how I’ve found myself using jj naturally. I find it hard to “tell the story” of a change ahead of time, because the design often only becomes clear after some exploration. It’s much easier to land at an implementation I’m happy with, then work backwards and shape the commits into the story I wish I’d taken.

Funnily enough, I used to! (I even contributed a few PRs). However with my new home battery I need more granular control to do some tariff arbitrage that EVCC didn't really support. Great project though!

That's the point. Your prototype doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to prove that the value is there for it to be made pretty.

If “good intent” means making a copycat website and putting Don Ho’s name on the author bio page.
